8 port router only needs a switch to add more computers?

Check the hotdeals forum. I remember seeing a gigafast 8 port for free (or under $10) after rebate. They are pretty cheap now. I use the gigafast and no probs whatsoever connected to my Snapgear Firewall.

I buy whatever's on sale! :) Switches are pretty generic now, I actually picked up three of the Gigafast ones over the course of the last year for free after rebate. Still have one, but I've used the other two. :D My main network is connected with a generic no-name 8 port 10/100 switch into my D-Link router, it's worked just fine for several years.
